If the Data Recipient has not authored or co-authored three relevant Publications, please describe their relevant expertise or experience in no more than 150 words; also, notify how the research project will be carried out (e.g. available funding, infrastructure and so on). Section II: harmonised Data Access Agreement (hDAA) Definitions GDPR: This hDAA makes both parties compliant with the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council, that is, the General Data Protection Regulation (herein referred to as the ‘GDPR’). Data: Refers to controlled access data (the Data). Under this Agreement, the Data is pseudonymised. Data Access/Transfer: Refers to an Institution’s right to request access to the Data and retrieve them from the Data Controller’s Institution upon approval of this hDAA by the corresponding DAC within the Data Controller’s Institution. Data Handling: Refers to an Institution’s ability to analyse and manipulate the Data within its own computer network. Data Controller(s): Refers to an Institution, responsible for the generation of the Data. Data Subject: Refers to any individual who is the source of any Data covered by this Agreement. Data Recipient (‘You’): Refers to the Institution who requests Access to the Data through this Agreement. Authorised Personnel: The individual(s) at the Institution requesting Access to the Data and any other individuals for whom the Institution subsequently requests access to the Data. Details of the initial Authorised Personnel are set out in Appendix II. Research Project: The Project for which You have requested Access to the Data. Publications: Refers, without limitation, to any and all articles published in print journals, electronic journals, reviews, books, posters, and other written and verbal presentations of Research that have been accepted by peer review. EU-STANDS4PM: This hDAA was developed by the EU-STANDS4PM, http://www/eu-stands4pm.eu/   Terms and Conditions In signing this Agreement: 1. You, the Data Recipient, agree to only use the Data for the Purpose of the Project. You further agree to only use the Data for Research Purposes which are within the limitations set out in Appendix I. 2. You agree to preserve, at all times, the confidentiality of information and Data pertaining to Data Subjects. You undertake not to use or attempt to use the Data to compromise or otherwise infringe the confidentiality of information on Data Subjects and their right to privacy. 3.

Virus and malware protection to computers on the computer network; d. Secure backup procedure; 6. You acknowledge that Access to the Data is granted for the duration of the Project described in Section I, as well as any new Project under the same research field or area. Any use of the Data for a Project of another research field or area will need to be approved under a new Agreement. 7. You recognize that nothing in this Agreement shall operate to transfer to You any intellectual property rights to the Data. 8. You agree not to make intellectual property claims on the Data and not to use intellectual property protection in ways that would prevent or block Access to, or use of, any element of the Data. 9.

In this case, You agree to implement licensing policies that will not obstruct further Research, following the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidelines. 10. You agree that the Research Project 1) bears no legal responsibility for the accuracy or comprehensiveness of the Data; 2) accepts no liability for indirect, consequential, or incidental damages or losses arising from use of the Data; and 3) bears no responsibility for the further analysis or interpretation of these Data over and above that published by the Controller(s). 11.

You agree to use the Data in Your laboratory. Any Authorised Personnel shall work under Your direct supervision. You agree to distribute a copy of these terms to the Authorised Personnel. 15. You may not transfer any information included in the Data to anyone unless specifically designated in the Research Project, or by prior specific or general written authorisation of the Data Controller(s) responsible for the generation of the original Data in each case. 16. You may not transfer the Data itself to anyone outside the Institution, unless the Controller(s) has (have) approved such transfer and its terms in writing. 17.
